I'm really glad Topolsky and the rest of the ex-Engadget staff started up The Verge. I still like to keep up with tech news, but Engadget became a significant source of blog-spam.
- martey 14y agoIs The Verge really much better? Their original editorial content is interesting, but like Engadget, a significant number of their daily articles just rehash news found elsewhere.
- elithrar 14y ago> a significant number of their daily articles just rehash news found elsewhere Part of that is par for the course - short of getting their hands on every gadget under the sun, there has to be some rehashing. They do seem to make their source links pretty clear though (unlike Engadget; a pet peeve of mine) and the ratio of rehashed content vs. reviews/commentary/etc seems much higher. It's still early days yet, though, so we'll see if they keep to that standard.
